Just a couple things to keep in mind while you are preparing
for your essay on Tuesday……
-It is a good idea to write the rubric for the DBQ on the
side of your documents page as soon as you receive it at the start of class.
-Read the question very carefully. This is not a “positive/negative” question. The question specifically asks to
compare and contrast the documents in a particular way.
-As with any DBQ question, look for any patterns that
develop over time. It is very important
to communicate these discovered patterns to the reader as they are at the
center of the question
-When writing your thesis, make sure to include all relevant
subjects, locations and dates. Do
not forget to give the reader a hint about any change over time issues you have
discovered.
-There are several good opportunities for POV points in this
essay. Make sure to address the
author and what could be influencing their POV.
As always, please feel free to ask any questions regarding
the essays in class. I will be
available after school on Monday 3rd and before school on Tuesday 4th
to answer any questions you have regarding the essay.
